[PRESS RELEASE – San Francisco, United States, May 22nd, 2025]
XVC Tech, the venture capital arm of the XDC Network, has recently announced its investment in the Laser Digital Carry Fund (LCF), a market-neutral digital asset strategy managed by Laser Digital, a subsidiary of Nomura Holdings. As part of this collaboration, Libre, a regulated infrastructure provider for tokenized investment products, will deploy its on-chain issuance and management framework on the XDC Network.
Libre’s integration introduces a regulatory-compliant mechanism for the distribution of tokenized financial products to institutional and accredited investors on the XDC Network. With a proven track record in enabling the tokenization of various strategies, including regulated hedge funds, money market funds, and private credit from major institutions such as BlackRock and Brevan Howard, Libre’s infrastructure is set to support the entire lifecycle of fund issuance, which includes on-chain subscription, redemption, and transfer capabilities. This deployment is a significant move toward expanding regulated investment opportunities for institutional and accredited investors within the XDC ecosystem.
“This partnership with Laser Digital and Libre accelerates the integration of institutional capital into our blockchain through trusted and compliant frameworks,” said Thibault Delrue, Investment Manager at XVC Tech. “Libre’s deployment will make tokenized funds from some of the world’s largest asset managers accessible and mintable directly on our network, further enhancing our ecosystem of institutional partners.”
The collaboration enables Libre’s on-chain fund issuance infrastructure to interoperate with the scalable, EVM-compatible infrastructure of the XDC Network, laying the groundwork for a wider institutional adoption of blockchain-native financial products.
“We are excited to expand the reach of the Laser Carry Fund through XDC’s high-performance infrastructure,” stated Florent Jouanneau, Partner at Laser Digital. “Libre’s deployment is a pivotal step toward unlocking cross-chain composability and broadening institutional-grade investment access across new blockchain ecosystems.”
The Laser Digital Carry Fund employs a high-yield, market-neutral strategy that capitalizes on funding rates and yield prospects within the digital asset market. Leveraging Laser Digital’s extensive expertise in capital markets and risk management from both traditional and digital finance, this fund showcases a commitment to responsible engagement with digital assets.
“Bringing the Libre Gateway to XDC illustrates our dedication to facilitating access for institutional and accredited investors to premier real-world assets via secure and compliant blockchain infrastructure,” remarked Dr. Avtar Sehra, CEO of Libre. “XDC’s low-cost, high-throughput environment offers an optimal foundation for large-scale issuance and management of tokenized funds.”
